Frisco, Texas – FC Dallas has made significant roster moves this week, announcing the signing of defender Joshua Torquato and forward Sam Sarver to short-term loans from North Texas SC. These players will be eligible to participate in the upcoming match against San Diego FC on Saturday.
Torquato, a 17-year-old native of Kona, Hawaii, recently made his debut for the first team on June 14, 2025, contributing to a 4-2 victory against Sporting Kansas City. He stands at 5’8” and weighs 134 lbs, and holds dual nationality in the United States and Brazil. Meanwhile, Sarver, who is 22 years old and hails from Chesterland, Ohio, is stepping up to the first team for the first time. He is 5’10” and weighs 188 lbs, bringing fresh energy to the forward position.
FC Dallas’s activity does not stop with these two acquisitions. On June 20, 2025, it was announced that goalkeeper Antonio Carrera has been transferred to Club Tigres UANL. Carrera, a pivotal player for North Texas SC, leaves a strong legacy as he recorded 43 matches—as the most appearances for a goalkeeper in the club’s history—along with 9 shutouts and an impressive 170 saves. He was instrumental in securing the 2024 MLS NEXT Pro Cup championship for the team.
Having joined the FC Dallas youth system in 2014 at the age of 10 and joining the FC Dallas Academy two years later, Carrera progressed swiftly, eventually being signed as the club’s 33rd Homegrown player on February 21, 2022. He made his professional debut shortly after on March 26, 2022, and has since represented the United States at various youth levels, including U15, U17, and U20.
On January 9, 2025, FC Dallas also secured several Homegrown deals, signing a total of six players including goalkeeper Michael Collodi, defenders Malachi Molina and Torquato, midfielders Diego García and Anthony Ramirez, and forwards Daniel Baran and Diego Pepi. These moves brought the organization’s total to 43 Homegrown signings, solidifying its commitment to developing local talent.
This latest round of signings and transactions emphasizes FC Dallas’s strategy of integrating young talent into the team’s first roster while simultaneously allowing seasoned players to advance their careers in other regions. The signing of Torquato and Sarver, as well as the transfer of Carrera, reflects an ongoing shift within the club’s dynamics, fostering new opportunities for up-and-coming players of all backgrounds.
The upcoming match against San Diego FC is set to be a significant test for the newly reinforced team. Both Torquato and Sarver will be eager to make their marks in this high-stakes encounter as they don the FC Dallas colors.
With these roster changes, FC Dallas currently has a total of 33 players under contract for the 2025 season. The club’s management appears committed to ensuring a robust squad that embraces both seasoned professionals and promising young talent in its endeavor to compete effectively in the league.
